I need to overload generic method printArray of GenericMethodtest so that

it takes two additional integer arguments, lowsubscript and highsubscript. A call to this method prints only the designated portion of the array. Validate lowsubscript and highsubscript. if either is out of range, the overloaded printarray method should throw an invalidsubscriptexception; otherwise, printArray should return the number of elements printed.

Then modify main to exercise both verisons of printArray on arrays integerArray, doubleArray and characterArray. Test all capabilities of both versions of printArray.

This is what I have so far i'm stuck and don't know where to begin.

public class GenericMethodTest   

{     

  public static void main(String args)   

  {        

     // create arrays of Integer, Double and Character  

     Integer integerArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};   

     Double doubleArray = {1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7};   

     Character characterArray = {'H', 'E', 'L', 'L', 'O'}   





     System.out.printf("%nArray integerArray contains:%n");

     printArray(integerArray); // pass an Integer array 

     System.out.printf("%nArray doubleArray contains:%n");

     printArray(doubleArray); // pass a Double array

     System.out.printf("%nArray characterArray contains:%n");

     printArray(characterArray); // pass a Character array

   }    



   // generic method printArray       

   public static <T> void printArray(T inputArray)      

   {

     // display array elements  

     for (T element : inputArray)   

       System.out.printf("%s ", element);



     System.out.println();

   }

} // end class GenericMethodTest
